Kezia is recovering from her bone operation on her right leg. Here she is in her playpen with her Comfy Cone on. My lady wants to know why the people who make this cone put reflective fabric around the edge? Weird.

Keezy is weak behind and needs her soft sling to get around outside but today really wanted my lady to play with her. She gets her ice and therapy twice a day until her staples come out of her hip area.

Everyone at the hospital really likes Kezia. They all smile and want to kiss her when they see her.

I think I should go visit this hospital as a goat of mercy. Do you think they would all smile and want to kiss me? Tee hee hee.﻿

Kezia had her appointment with the specialist today. It's bad news. Her right leg needs the same operation as the left.

The doctor said (with obvious excitement and doctorish happiness) that it's very rare to have this condition in both legs. Kezia's in a fair amount of pain and the doctor made her scream when he palpated the leg.

My lady has a call in to her regular doctor as she preferred to have the new set of required xrays done there. The specialist is an hour away and requires the pet to be dropped off at seven a.m. and not to be picked up 'till late afternoon. Regular doctor is 1/2 hour away.

The xrays will be done and surgery scheduled.

﻿

My lady said she almost made it out of the exam room without crying but didn't quite make it. She said that although the doctor won't give her a discount for making her cry he did give her a tissue. Sniff.

He said that the good news is that the left leg has done really well and has healed perfectly.﻿

A note from Isobelle's Lady, Dear friends,

I don't quite know how to say this but I very much appreciates the magnificent effort that occurred for Kezia's last surgery. The sales of lovely goat coats and soap and jewelry and the gifts towards the first surgery were so unexpected and appreciated.

I in no way wish any of you to feel that you need to contribute towards this second surgery. That would be too much of a burden to you and yours. This second surgery will go onto the credit card with the first one and be paid off a wee little bit at a time.

Thank you all again for the first wonderful and generous gifts of blessings, good wishes and donations. I will never forget it.
